Pearls of the Sound, 2022 Chorus Finals

Can’t stop, won’t stop, don’t stop Pearls of the Sound! They took us on a centuries-long trip through time in their awesome performance, “The Evolution of Music,” at the International Chorus Finals. Constant costume changes while maintaining harmony and choreography? No problem.

Wonderful creativity and all with extensive Choralography :)

[@JosephLivesey]

Opening with Kaval Sviri!!! Glorious! I never would have imagined I'd see it on a barbershop stage

[@MoominJude]

Very entertaining 😊

They sound amazing, of course, and the choreography is super fun and everything, but I am kind of disappointed by the rendition of Kaval Sviri at the beginning. The way they exaggerate the nasality makes it sound like a caricature of the actual singing technique. Plus the costumes and narration kind of imply that this is like... super primitive music from the beginnings of humanity or something which is just disrespectful to the absolute beauty that is Bulgarian folk music
